The commander of U.S. forces in South Korea said Wednesday that the
retirement of the A-10 aircraft will leave a gap in the ability to take
out enemy tanks from the air. Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti made the comment
under questioning by House lawmakers and said he would compensate for
the change by using air and ground forces differently if war breaks out
on the peninsula.

US intelligence officials revealed that during the ongoing Iran
nuclear negotiations, North Korea has provided several shipments of
advanced missile components to the Islamic regime in violation of UN
sanctions - and the US hid the violations from the UN.

The officials, who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon on
Wednesday on condition of anonymity, said more than two shipments of
missile parts since last September have been monitored by the US going
from North Korea to Iran.

Now, video has surfaced from 1995 where Obama not only identifies
‘Frank’ as Frank Marshall Davis, he details how Davis ‘schooled’ him on
the racism of white people. Obama had an absent father and we can see that Davis, who stated that Russia had all but ended racism within a generation, became Obama’s father figure.

Obama believes that Marxism is the answer to racism. The rage Obama
feels regarding ‘white racism’ has become the impetus behind his agenda
to transform this country from a Republic into a totalitarian state, as
guided by the teachings of a racist Communist and given wings by
powerful leftists on the world stage, like George Soros.

This clip is from his book tour at the Cambridge Public Library and originally aired on Channel 37 Cambridge Municipal Television within an episode of the show, “The Author Series.”

Three men were arrested Friday and Saturday during the Wanenmacher’s
Tulsa Arms Show with the help of a new video surveillance system in the
River Spirit Expo building, and the accused are longtime trusted gun
dealers.

“The surprising thing, all three of these were
dealers, they had (vendor) badges, and they had been coming to our show
for several years,” said show founder Joe Wanenmacher. “These were not
young guys, either. I’ll just say they were old enough to know better.
This is wild!”

The administration is deporting fewer criminal aliens than it did
last year, according to new statistics released Tuesday that undercut
President Obama’s justification for his new amnesty, which he said was
intended to free agents to focus on the most dangerous of criminals by
focusing on “felons not families.”

Instead, both arrests and
deportations of criminal aliens are down about 30 percent through the
first six months of fiscal year 2015, signaling that agents, who have
been told to stop focusing on rank-and-file illegal immigrants, have not
been able to refocus on criminal illegal immigrants instead

Police arrested a man who steered his tiny, one-person helicopter
onto the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, astonishing spring
tourists and prompting a temporary lockdown of the Capitol Visitor
Center.

It appears the 61-year-old pilot was carrying out a stunt to draw
attention to Campaign Finance Reform. He had planned the event for two
years and even made a video.

"The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history...the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday.

The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination -- that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves.--H. L. Mencken

Southern conservative M.E. Bradford saw Lincoln as the politician he was – one who used the abolitionist movement as a partisan tactic to destroy the Democratic Party in the North and pursued Alexander Hamilton’s dream of a commercial empire. The Northern military victory enabled Lincoln’s to break with the original Constitution and implement a new interpretation with the support of fellow revolutionaries.

Lincoln’s Political Millennium

“Lincoln’s personal opinions about and his actual public policies toward African Americans are evidence, according to Bradford, that partisan politics were behind Lincoln’s high-sounding rhetoric . . . His claim that a nation half free and half slave cannot endure in spite of a historical record to the contrary, the Black Codes of his home State of Illinois, the racist attitudes of his Northern electoral base, his support for recolonization of African Americans to Liberia, selective emancipation, and the plight of freedmen overall (at the Hampton Roads Conference of 1865 Lincoln is quoted as saying they can “root, hog, or die”) give an empty ring to his rhetoric of universal human rights.

As Bradford poignantly remarked, “For the sake of such vapid distinctions he urged his countrymen to wade through seas of blood.” . . . [Can] one reasonably assume that Lincoln was zealously obsessed with the pursuit of power for a just cause and that the “seas of blood” that flowed during his tenure were justifiable consequences of his “new birth of freedom” he alluded to in his Gettysburg Address? Or, was there a more mundane motive behind Lincoln’s policies, with the ensuing war unexpectedly getting out of hand?

There can be little question that Lincoln and his Republican supporters had a mundane public policy agenda that overshadowed the rhetoric and legacy of their tenure in power. That agenda was Hamiltonian, insofar as it required a substantial transfusion of power from the States to the national government, in order for the latter to more effectively promote the style and pace of development toward a commercial empire and the corresponding opportunities for personal and national profits that such rapid commercial development entailed.

The politically contentious issues of internal improvements, the national bank, and [tariff] protectionism made giant strides on behalf of national supremacy during the Lincoln Administration. In fact the Gilded Age can be traced to the political economy of those Republicans who controlled the national government in the early 1860s:

“It is customary to deplore the Gilded Age, the era of the Great Barbeque. It is true that many of the corruptions of the Republican Era came to a head after Lincoln lay to rest in Springfield. But it is a matter of fact that they began either under his direction or with his sponsorship. Military necessity, the “War for the Union,” provided an excuse, and umbrella of sanction, under which the essential nature of the changes made in the relation of government to commerce could be concealed [Bradford, Remembering Who We Are, 146].”

Lincoln’s rhetoric in the Gettysburg Address reveals the importance of a Republican Party committed to the fulfillment of Hamilton’s dream of a commercial empire. The emergence of a commercial empire within the conceptual framework of Lincoln’s incorporation of the Declaration [of Independence] into the Constitution (or vice versa) would result in the political millennium he alludes to in the Gettysburg Address.

And Lincoln had good reason to be optimistic. During the Republican Party’s Civil War and postbellum dominance, the use of government as a means toward commercial expansion and personal aggrandizement was shifted into overdrive.

[And] Lincoln’s expansive interpretation of presidential powers made him the most imperial president in American history, thereby setting a dangerous precedent for predisposed successors. The incarceration of approximately twenty-thousand political prisoners, the closing of over three hundred newspapers, the interruptions of State legislatures, the blockade of the South, the unilateral suspension of habeas corpus, explicit and implicit defiance of the Supreme Court, the sanctioning of the creation of West Virginia, private property seizures, and electioneering/voting irregularities have all been rationalized as necessary war measures.

[Bradford suggests] the evidence indicates that “in this role the image of Lincoln grows to be very dark – indeed, almost sinister . . . Thousands of Northern boys lost their lives in order that the Republican Party might experience rejuvenation, to serve its partisan goals.”

A bombshell revelation has emerged in the incident responsible for
the greatest US Air Force loss of life during the War on Terror and
deadliest “green-on-blue” attack during the US involvement in
Afghanistan. On April 27, 2011, Afghan Air Force Colonel Ahmad Gul
gunned down eight US Air Force personnel and a civilian contractor
inside the Afghan Air Force headquarters, including investigators who
had just arrived in country to examine rampant corruption in the Afghan
military.

Multiple Air Force and CENTCOM investigations claimed to find no
motive for the attack, leaving the families of those killed with no
answers. Now a senior US official has gone on the record claiming that a
United Nations team tracked substantial payments to the killer and his
family made days just prior to the incident.'

For the past year I have worked as a consultant with the For The Record
documentary investigative team looking into the Kabul airport massacre
and the Pentagon’s handling of the matter. Last November, I appeared in
an episode of the program noting that the Pentagon’s multiple
explanations for the attack didn’t match their own forensics.

With the passage of House Bill 195 into law, the State of Louisiana has banned the use of cash in all transactions involving secondhand goods.
State representative Ricky Hardy, a co-author of the bill, claims that
the bill targets criminals who traffic in stolen goods. According to
Hardy, “It’s a mechanism to be used so the police department has
something to go on and have a lead.” The bill prohibits cash
transactions by “secondhand dealers,” defined to include garage sales,
flea markets, resellers of specialty items, and even non-profit
resellers like Goodwill. Curiously, it specifically exempts pawnbrokers
from the ban. But of course, pawn shops–and not rented stalls at
local church flea markets–are notorious as places that criminals
frequent to convert stolen goods into quick cash.

So what gives? Are
the authors of the bill and those who voted for it ignoramuses–or are
they deliberately obscuring the real purpose of the bill?

The answer is clear once we examine the other provisions of the bill.
In fact, the bill goes far beyond banning cash transactions. As
lawyer Thad Ackel notes, the bill requires:

In an effort to rein in an increasingly out-of-control executive branch,
Congressman Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) introduced a House Resolution on April 13
that specifically defines “impeachable offenses” as everything from
starting a war without congressional authorization to issuing executive
orders purporting to circumvent Congress. If approved by the full House
of Representatives, the measure would put the Obama administration and
future presidents on notice that perpetrating any of the specified high
crimes or misdemeanors will result in articles of impeachment being
voted on.

The law “should warn before it strikes,” the measure explains,
offering a series of reasons why such a resolution is needed.
Commenting on the measure, Rep. Yoho made clear that the definitions —
while clearly applicable to Obama’s ongoing constitutional abuses — are
not intended to be partisan and must apply to future presidents of both
parties.

That matches the description of some of the drug
dealers who have testified at the six-week police corruption trial that
the squad stole as much as $110,000 at a time during violent, no-warrant
raids.

Lead defendant Thomas Liciardello always got a cut
of the stolen money, while the others split "jobs" that they worked,
Walker said. The city's police brass often celebrated the squad's work
with splashy news conferences to announce large seizures.

"They liked that, as far as the bosses and
supervisors were concerned. It made them look good. It was nothing but a
dog and pony show," Walker testified.

A CBS4 investigation has learned that two Transportation Security
Administration screeners at Denver International Airport have been fired
after they were discovered manipulating passenger screening systems to
allow a male TSA employee to fondle the genital areas of attractive male
passengers.

It happened roughly a dozen times, according to information gathered by CBS4.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
